Do you moo?
These sweet little cards, that I use for hang tags are from a company called moo. I was quite excited when I opened my little moo box and saw my little , dare I say, masterpieces laid out in all their glory on these little cards. I felt briefly famous and sort of published. Anyways, [...]
